The flexibility of the Welding Cable is determined by the number of copper wires and the type of insulation around the copper. The weight of these two puzzles depends to a large extent on the flexibility of the cable compared to another cable. Insulation types also have a significant impact on the amount of approval that must be used in different applications.

The first thing to know about the size of the copper wire and why the cable becomes more flexible. THHN is a very common type of very hard wire because it needs to pass through the pipe and through the wall. The less flexible part helps the process and make it a faster installer for the contractor.

The rubber insulation used to make welded cables is also more flexible than THHN wires. Once the THHN is installed, it is never touched again, so flexibility is not important. It also has a nylon coating that helps to resist oil and gas in the pipeline, but it also eliminates from the flexibility. The rubber insulation of the welded cable is more flexible and durable. Unlike THHN wires, the welding cable is used continuously during its presence. It will be dragged to the ground, walked over, every day may be driven, need protection. These things are taken into account before the engineers are made.

Talk to your electrician, contractor, installer, or your wire and cable supplier about the type of cable required for your particular application. Anyone in these areas will be happy to find the correct type of wire or cable that matches your budget. Due to the cost of copper, the welding cable and all the copper cables are very expensive, but you can still save money on the type of insulation you choose. Take the time to make the right choice, rather than assuming that all the copper wires are expensive.
